exterior aluminum riveting

Here are some pictures of what I have
done with some of the exterior work. Lots and lots of riveting and chalking.


The exhaust system on the furnace never lined up properly. I made the ventilation hole wider, and put some aluminum backing behind the vent cover. It looks natural.
I took this picture after I chalked, so ignore the smudges.










As you well know, the door was bashed in and the door knob/dead bolt needed to be replaced. The outside siding needed to be replaced as well because the previous door handle left a massive rectangular hole where the door knob needed to sit. The chalking you see in the after picture will be removed.

























The front end had been bashed in and banged out from the inside, causing a very noticeable eye sore. I took this section out during the demolition and replaced it with some airplane siding. Looks as good as new.

planning and dry-walling

Sitting in K8's chair, I planned for hours. Continually going back and forth doing final measurements.


This is the basic frame structure for the couches in the living room. There will be extra storage inside the framing.












Who do you know that has dry wall in their Airstream? Dry walling around curves is not an easy process. The final painted result will be amazing.







We will leave the top section bare and polish into a mirror finish.


We thought it would be wise to frame the wheel wells. They will have a bedding system resting on top of them.
